I sold my old one earlier this year for £4,000 and bought a new for £8,000. Ask me if the new one is £4,000 better than the new one, ok I will tell you anyway, I wish I had never sold my old one, it was much better.

Who have you got onto the course with, I assume it's online?.

Looks at lot like Oak to me.

Makes you wonder what they did with it, drain, kitchen sink, water course or do they have suitable container at the station which is more suitable than the fuel tank designed by the manufacturer.

I wouldn't feel comfortable towing a shopping trolly behind our Ranger even if the trolly was empty. In my opinion if you want a truck to tow with then there is only one option, Land Rover, either 110 or 130

Bought Dawn a bike for her birthday so I thought I would have one as well, we took a little ride to the pub today for a bowl of cheesy chips, it's been 23 years since I last rode a bike and my buttocks now hurt. I am seriously thinking of making a seat from an old defender, there must be more comfortables ways, the seat on my bike dissapears up the crack of yer @rs3 and when I was a lad, if you bought a bike it had these things called MUDGUARDS, the farmer opposite me keeps dairy cattle, came back smelling like Daisy's back end. Do you think this would help us remember the way home after a few pints http://www.gooutdoor...am-mens-p154019

Not always quicker I am afraid, we tend to work all over the place and therefore deal with many different LPA's, I find filling them in on the planning portal then print and post them is the best method. Online applications are not necessarily read by some one with arb knowledge and often get knocked back for minor or trivial things whereas a tree officer might let some thing go or even amend the app. I would say post it and address it to the tree officer or bettter still if it's local deliver by hand. I did one recently and the tree office called me to clarify a certain point which he felt was not clear, we had a chat and he amended it and all is good:thumbup:, can save a lot of time. I also recently had an application which took 6 weeks to validate simply because the tree officer was being downright awkward for some reason:confused1:.

Thanks for ideas and input. Fence I believe is not an option because it is next to a path/access so no go there. Picking the berries would possibly be a short term solution but same again next year?. Long term may be dependant on the TO and wether it is worth making a TPO on a tree in a rear garden which has a distinct problem. Spoke with the TO today and the considered opinion was to keep a closer eye on the resident, not very helpfull realy, the staff have quite a bit to do and cannot watch each and everyone all the time. I think we will do a combination of removing/picking berries together with removing an absolute minimum amount of lower secondary branches in order to make the situation safe for the resident and notify the LPA we intend to fell the tree on behalf of the client. If it happened again and they were taken seriously ill you can imagine the media response.

I have a client who runs a nursing home for people with mental health problems and yesterday a resident ate some berries from a Yew tree and was taken to hospital as a precaution, they are fine and sufferred no adverse effects. Hindsight is a wonderfull thing and they should have acted before it happened but it has and now we have to sort it out. I have been asked to fell the tree for obvious reasons but it is within a CA so a notification will have to be done which is not a problem. However, now the resident has learnt that eating the berries gets a trip out and lots of attention it is an issue so do you think I could cut back/trim the lower branches to prevent the resident reaching the branches under the dangerous exemption without risking the wrath of the local authority:confused1:.

Whats been going on at the section on the trunk where it suddenly seems to go very much smaller dia, the point level with the apex of the building in the background and 2 mts above the fence line, it appear there may have another large limb?

Looking at the reaction of the woundwood do you not consider it is down to the way the initial cut was made at the branch collar and hence good reaction growth rather than Angio/Gymnosperms.
-
Where did you do it.
-
After reading the link suppied by scotspine1 it appears two reports have been done by competent arborists and both agree the only course of action is to fell the tree. It is unfortunate but seems like it's due for the chop.

I have never been 100% comfortable with MEWPs, we have a 22mtr and I think the more you use them the happier you get with em.

We have a Miller 150 which is a heavy duty bit of kit and needs a decent size tractor to operate it, ours is a reverse drive Valtra, there is a pic on our web site. Are you looking to hire or buy?

It seems the guy was using a lowering device which was attached to the tree by a rachet strap, assuming this was designed for purpose then there should be no need to back up this system with another although in principal it sounds like a good idea. We have a drum brake which is held in position with a large rachet. There have been times when the base of the tree was to large for the starp to comfortable go around so we simply shave a bit of the trunk to reduce the dia of the tree and then you gain enough strap to create the desired overlays needed to hold it tight to the tree, it also gives the strap and/or brake something to sit against, quite often after the first few logs are lowered it needs another tweek on the rachet to stop it working upwards.

I saw Quo last year and my ears are still ringing. We spoke about about volume today, slighty different scenario though.
